meant by "more effective." This unqualified assertion is likely to confuse the many people who already use or recommend All-Bran as an "effective" means of avoiding constipation whatever its soluble:insoluble fibre ratio or influence on plasma lipids, mineral absorption, faecal bulking, bowel transit time, etc. Furthermore, it is difficult to see why "wholemeal bread and crispbreads" are the on...

Lynch-Morawska Systems on Strings

We investigate properties of convergent and forward-closed string rewriting systems in the context of the syntactic criteria introduced in [8] by Christopher Lynch and Barbara Morawska (we call these LM-Systems). Since a string rewriting system can be viewed as a term-rewriting system over a signature of purely monadic function symbols, we adapt their definition to the string rewriting case. We...

Notes on Lynch-Morawska Systems

In this paper we investigate convergent term rewriting systems that conform to the criteria set out by Christopher Lynch and Barbara Morawska in their seminal paper “Basic Syntactic Mutation.” The equational unification problem modulo such a rewrite system is solvable in polynomial-time. In this paper, we derive properties of such a system which we call an LM-system. We show, in particular, tha...

Diagnosing Lynch syndrome

R isk stratification is essential for designing efficacious and cost effective colon cancer screening programmes. One of the most important risk factors for colorectal cancers (CRC) is an inherited predisposition, implicated in 20% of all cases. The spectrum of genetic susceptibility ranges from the low penetrance mutations that modestly increase the colon cancer risk (for example, I 1307K) to ...
